Document Summary
Lipids, sugars, nucleic acids all contain carbon. Bonds are stable enough under di erent tensile forces etc. Visible and ir wont interfere with the bonds in the body. Understanding behavior of any kind of biomolecule. Water has to form an ordered shell around the hydrophobic molecule. Interphase between oil and water will be as small as possible. Reduces exposed area of oil by making it into one giant ball thats why they separate. Water molecules always transiently bonded to each other due to polar (sticky) characteristics. Speci c heat capacity: water has very high heat capacity. Cool anything down immediately by dipping it in water. Enormous amounts of chemical reactions take place without changing temperature. Energy needed for spontaneous formation of macromolecules. Conformation will become more constrained as more bonds form. Kinetic random energy that fuels that movements (jiggling) and assembly. Proteins get tangled up when theres a lot of things present.
